Drugs are the integral part of medicine. The rational use of drugs has saved enumerable lives, prevented epidemics and promoted health in general. Accessibility to essential medicines is an essential element of a health system. However, to accrue the optimum benefits, the drugs have to be used optimally—the right indication, right drug, right dose, right duration, minimal toxicity, and at the lowest cost, denoted as “rational drug therapy”. The specialty of obstetrics and gynecology is different from other specialties of medicine in many different ways. A practitioner of this specialty has to have artistic skills of a surgeon as well as the wisdom of a physician.
